At random a little while back came across some interviews by Rich Eisen with actors. Originally was mostly Seinfeld related with a lot of great backstories to the show. Have since been binge watching a lot of these type of interviews.

I’m a big Kevin Pollock fan, came across this podcast interview from a few months ago that’s great. He’s a great interview and has a lot of awesome stories about some of the films he’s been in. I especially liked the part about The Usual Suspects.

Great listen...he said 90% of his lines in Usual Suspects were ad-libbed.

"What the fuck did he just say?" was actually Pollack asking the director because he wasn't aware that Benicio was supposed to mumble the line.

My favorite:

Interogator: "I can put you in Queens on the night of the hijacking."

Hockney: "Really? I live in Queens. Did you put that together yourself, Einstein?"
 


Watched The Rip that just came out on Netflix. Affleck/Damon. Not a good movie. Might be even worse than that one Hardy put out on Netflix, Havoc.

We finally watched this. I hope the guy stays out of trouble after getting a second chance but I'm not very confident that will happen. What a story.

Mel Brooks is just awesome

Just watched it. Terrific. His relationship with Carl Reiner was amazing and touching.

I still believe the single funniest scene in a movie was Gene Hackman as the blind man hosting Peter Boyle's monster.
 

Midsommar was released in 2019 to much critical acclaim.

I've been putting it off for a while but it is leaving HBO/MAX soon so I watched it recently.

I regret watching it. Really disliked it.

I do see why it helped make The Florence Pugh into a star though.

Watched it last night. It was fun to listen to some of the guys reminisce and see clips of the games. I particularly enjoyed the discussion about the locker room dynamics after the 2nd period against the Finns in the gold medal game. Also, the thoughts from Janazek who was the only person on the team who never saw icetime.
